Tag #123523 - Interview #78516 (Eshua Aron Almalech)

We lived together with my childhood friend Mony Dekalo, born in 1923. He lived with his mother, Luna Dekalo, who was widowed when he was only six years old. We felt as close as brothers and with our blessing my father and his mother married shortly after we were interned from Stara Zagora. His mother was a well-known tailor in our hometown. Mony was an active member of the UYW [8]. He introduced me to the organization and I regarded my participation in it as my contribution to the fight against fascism. We all lived together – my father, my stepmother, my sister Roza, who did not accept easily the second marriage of our father and shortly after that she went to live with our aunt Marie (my father’s sister) and Mony.
